Not that it shouldn't be available.

I'm all for those who are too dumb to protect themselves from getting pregnant/getting someone pregnant to abort the unwanted mistake. But not after 13 weeks, not after 20 weeks and certainly not in the last trimester b/c "my body, my choice". Kick that slogan in to gear (and buy a pregnancy test the first time you miss a period after having unprotected sex or forgot to take your pill, or have irregular cycles b/c you NEVER know) a few days after you miss a cycle.

Not brain surgery and pregnancy tests don't cost that much.

And abortions cost a lot more than a box of condoms.
God, I wish you guys would care more about the kids already born who are in foster care waiting for a home. Some never find a family. So they grow up never really knowing the love of a family. What's the point of adding more kids to the system.

Well it is in her body. But by that point you can argue that she has had several months to make a decision. I could accept restrictions on late term abortions. But we all know the GOP us going to go for far more draconian measures than that.

Which is why they are writing letters. If it was 300, closer to the number needed to push through legislation, they would just legislate. Shocking. Legislature legislating.

If you can't legislate try to subjourn the judicial branch is not how the process works. Write an amicus brief, not a letter.

In the lexicon of ridiculous arguments on the Abortion issue, this absurd one is at the top of the list.

Many men care about abortions because because the children killed are their sons and daughters. Beyond that, they care because the children killed are children. It's not complicated.

Why is it conservatives always to want to go backward and Democrats are always looking forward.
It feels that way to you because so many Democrats are socially and morally disorientated. What you think is forward actually isn't.

What I was referring to is the following (and any pro-abortionist salivates over) :

Quote:
.....This lenient definition essentially allows for abortion on demand up until the moment of birth.
Quote:
How could “protecting a patient’s…health” be construed? Doe v. Bolton (a Roe v. Wade companion case) defines the health of the mother as “all factors—physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age—relevant to the well-being of the patient.” It’s easy to see how an ideological abortion practitioner, hellbent on securing an abortion for a patient, could conveniently use this new wording to justify a late-term abortion.

What States are you referring to? Because it is legal to abort a viable child in the third tri-mester in a number of States, NY for example. And no, the life of the mother does not need to be in peril.

You are all out WRONG. Just what right does a man have to force a woman to bare his child against her will? There is absolutely none!
